First-person POV video game screenshot, playing as a young anime protagonist in a slightly oversized white t-shirt and knee-length blue shorts. Visible hands pushing open a sun-faded wooden door, forearms resting on the frame. In a dusty hallway mirror reflection: character’s soft Ghibli-style face with windblown hair. Inside a cozy coastal cottage: slanted sunlight through lace curtains, pastel walls with watercolor seascapes, overstuffed bookshelf spilling seashells. Foreground: ‘E: Rest’ prompt over a quilted sofa. Background: steaming teacup on a driftwood table, open window revealing distant lighthouse and Miyazaki fluffy clouds. Soft painterly textures, slight fisheye lens, identical HUD (minimap corner, health bar)

First-person POV video game screenshot, playing as a young protagonist in a loose white t-shirt and faded denim shorts. Visible arms holding a woven basket, sneakers stepping on rain-damp cobblestones. Walking through a chaotic Ghibli street market: cramped stalls selling glowing mushrooms, floating lanterns, and spiral-cut fruits. Fishmonger shouts while soot sprites dart between crates. Foreground: vendor handing you a peach (interactive ‘E’ prompt). Background: yakuza thugs lurking near a steaming noodle cart. Soft painterly lighting, depth of field, subtle HUD (minimap corner, health bar). Studio Ghibli meets Grand Theft Auto

Kneeling on a mossy dock pier at sunset, arms resting on knees. Foreground: ‘E: Reel In’ prompt as line pulls taut. Background: pastel fishing boats, distant lighthouse under Miyazaki’s fluffy clouds. Glowing koi fish breaching turquoise water, soot sprites stealing bait from a tin.

All Prompts are in order just like in video
The black-haired boy strides from the rustic house toward the ocean, the camera tracking his movement in a GTA-style third-person perspective as coastal winds flutter white curtains and sunlight glimmers on distant sailboats, blending warm interior details with expanding seaside horizons under a tranquil sky.
The brown-haired boy drives a vintage blue convertible along the coastal cobblestone street, colorful flower-adorned buildings passing by as the camera follows the car’s journey toward the sunlit ocean horizon, sea breeze gently tousling his hair under a serene sky.
The young boy navigates the bustling cobblestone market, basket of oranges in arm, as vibrant stalls and fluttering awnings frame his journey, the camera tracking his focused stride through chattering crowds under swaying traditional lanterns.
A school of fish swims gracefully through crystal-clear water, sunlight filtering through the surface, coral reefs swaying gently, creating a serene underwater scene with the camera stationary.

ComfyDock – The Easiest (Free) Way to Safely Run ComfyUI Sessions in a Boxed Container
https://www.reddit.com/r/comfyui/comments/1j2x4qv/comfydock_the_easiest_free_way_to_run_comfyui_in/
ComfyDock is a tool that allows you to easily manage your ComfyUI environments via Docker.
Common Challenges with ComfyUI
- Custom Node Installation Issues: Installing new custom nodes can inadvertently change settings across the whole installation, potentially breaking the environment.
- Workflow Compatibility: Workflows are often tested with specific custom nodes and ComfyUI versions. Running these workflows on different setups can lead to errors and frustration.
- Security Risks: Installing custom nodes directly on your host machine increases the risk of malicious code execution.
How ComfyDock Helps
- Environment Duplication: Easily duplicate your current environment before installing custom nodes. If something breaks, revert to the original environment effortlessly.
- Deployment and Sharing: Workflow developers can commit their environments to a Docker image, which can be shared with others and run on cloud GPUs to ensure compatibility.
- Enhanced Security: Containers help to isolate the environment, reducing the risk of malicious code impacting your host machine.

“Reality” is constructed by your brain. Here’s what that means, and why it matters.
“Fix your gaze on the black dot on the left side of this image. But wait! Finish reading this paragraph first. As you gaze at the left dot, try to answer this question: In what direction is the object on the right moving? Is it drifting diagonally, or is it moving up and down?”
